Psssh they just moved Santonio to go after Brandon Marshall. That guy is a model citizen.

Well I for one am happy for the jets. Their getting better and the patriots are gradually getting worse.

Pennsylvania is trying to get The rest of America to like it a little better this offseason.

The Steelers actuallygot the better of the deal as the Jets also had to throw in 10 Rex Ryan pep talks.

I’m in favor of any Holmes/Steeler bashing as much as the next guy but the Steelers were going to cut him anyway.

At least they got a 5th rounder for him.

@ freesoupwithhat

so because they were going to retardedly drop their best offensive weapon for smoking some herb, while their qb rapes away it’s alright that they got a useless 5th rounder?

They weren’t necessarily bound to cut him by any given deadline. They could have held him longer until a better offer materialized.

I’m disappointed by the Georgia DA’s announcement today though…I was really looking forward to hearing “Dennis Dixon to Mike Wallace” for all of 2010

I’m almost certain the Bears would’ve given a 4th rounder for a receiver over 5’8. C’mon man!

I think the Steelers knew they could have gotten a better deal for Holmes. Basically any team with the cap space to keep him (he’s coming into the last year of his contract, right) would have considered him. Perfect deal, great WR, you get 12 games to check him out and then you can keep him or walk away. That’s a third rounder or maybe a lower round and prospect player type material right there IMHO.

I think the Rooneys sold him low because they want to the message to be “Get in trouble, get suspended and your is on the next plane out of town.” If they haggled or whatever they’d have shown they still valued Holmes in some manner. Getting a mere 5th was the “Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out” kind of trade.

@SafetyDan – Agreed! While I am disappointed the steelers only got a 5th rounder, it is apparent they thought he couldn’t ditch the weed or whatever it was and knew they would lose him for 4 games now and maybe a full year later. He’s the Jets’ problem now. If he does get the full year later, does this move look better? Probably not…

The Steelers and the Redskins make trades within a week of each other, and Dan Snyder comes out looking smarter and more patient than Dan Rooney.

As a Steeler fan, I hate this trade with a burning passion, but as someone who appreciates irony, I can appreciate it until the joke gets old.

I took Santonio pretty early for a receiver in my fantasy draft last year, and he threw highball glass after highball glass at the face of my high expectations. But that’s in the past. Where the fuck does one take Santonio in their draft now? Not only is he on a new team, but he’s been Beef Moe’d to boot!

The Pirates comment was spot on. (Sadly). I’m waiting for them to part ways with McCutcheon (Andrew) when he asks for anything above the league minimum.
